DramaWay

We have been with Dramaway for the last 3 years.
My Daughter loves and enjoys it. It’s a great program where people with special needs can
Show their talents . The teachers are awesome!
The passion and the effort put in to all the programs are incredible.
We love Dramaway and recommend everyone to join who needs to show their talents .

My son has been a Dramaway participant for several years, in drama, dance, vocal and social programs, and has immensely enjoyed them all! The staff are very enthusiastic and are able to creatively adapt aspects of each program to the strengths and interests of each participant. It's amazing to see how each person gets a chance to really shine. I've also been impressed by how quickly and well Dramaway switched to online-only programming during the pandemic.

Caroline, DramaWay participant for 13 years:
"DramaWay is like family to me. I love acting. It's my life. I love being on stage. All the staff of DramaWay treats us as not different. I'm just like any person. It's fun. It wouldn't be DramaWay without Danielle and the staff and all the volunteers, and the participants. DramaWay is family."

Janice, Caroline's mother: Caroline is right: DramaWay is family to us. Caroline and I feel such a profound connection to everyone in the program as Caroline has written above. Without exaggeration, DramaWay has changed my daughter's life, saved her, encouraged her to become her glorious self. DramaWay brought love and joy into both our lives. "Everyone shines in their own way" as Caroline and the staff comment.
Empathy, respect, creativity, camaraderie, family --- all define the brilliant DramaWay!

I've know Danielle and her wonderful DramaWay team for 4 years, and have been lucky enough to have been able to assist on showcase day with set change and other aspects. Danielle runs a fantastic program where she brings out the best out of all those involved, staff and participants alike, and has created a warm and welcoming community. Danielle is a one of a kind person, and I see nothing but continued success for her and the DramaWay program. Keep up the great work D.!

Our family has been involved with DramaWay for twenty years. We have had the pleasure of watching the actors mature and blossom under Danielle's tutelage. Danielle expects the actors to progress, she challenges them pushing them, gently and with support, out of their comfort zone.
Our daughter, Nicole, has gained experience performing on stage, learning to interact with the audience and controlling her voice to impact her message. These skills benefit Nicole at college as well as in her employment. DramaWay staff always use technical terms and proper stage etiquette and this has increased Nicole's transferable skills.
Our daughter, Heather, may appear quiet during the classes and performance but the skills she develops in class are well used at home. DramaWay supports and encourages Heather's use of multiple word sentences, maintaining the conversation, and adding to a continuing conversation.
Listening to both Heather and Nicole interact with the members of DramaWay has been a delight. After so many years of dropping them off and picking them up with excited chatter we finally get a view of what goes on behind the scenes. The DramaWay staff are fantastic, supporting, setting positive examples, full of praise, able to step in and change the direction of a conversation as smoothly as saying hello.
The staff have an expectation for their students, a standard and they work to assist all to reach their potential.
We were thrilled to hear DramaWay went on-line, it is our highlight of the week.
Danielle and her staff may be artists first, but they have risen to the challenge of the virtual world with finesse.
